Real tour that will leave you wanting to visit again - Expert tour guide. My family fully enjoyed this excursion. Outdoor fun was what we were looking for. This trip is great for teens and adults. The waterfalls we stunning. The tour was enlightening and the geysers were a bit of a thrill. The only downfall is we didn't get to stay longer.

Amazing tour with Rebecca !!! - I had the joy and privilege of booking a day tour around Golden Circle with an amazing tour guide, Rebecca. I had an amazing time discovering wonderful parts of this amazing place. Getting to spend time in Kerið crater, Gullfoss among many other unique places was breathtaking. The experience was greatly embellished by the tour guide, Rebecca. During the entirety of the trip she would point out small intricate and fascinating details, tell the tales of the local folklore, make appropriate and funny jokes to keep the mood of everyone on the trip cheerful. She was also very thoughtful of the needs of everyone, making sure everyone had the time they needed to visit what they wanted and enjoy every part of their trip. I can go on and on about how well my experience went on this day trip with Rebecca, but words can hardly describe how much fun I had that day. Having worked in tourism this was just an unforgettable experience not only, of course, because of the location but also because of the tour guide that really made the experience and day as good as it could have gotten !!! I am truly happy that Rebecca was my tour guide that day and would absolutely book many more tours with her next time I visit Iceland. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Best wishes, Jack

Fun, Safe, and Comfortable! - I went on this excursion with a traveling group and had an amazing time! Lili was our trip advisor and she was very knowledgeable about Iceland history and the places we went. I had a mobility scooter and the company was very accommodating! Lili kindly got it out of the vehicle when needed. She made sure everyone enjoyed our adventure! I highly recommend using them and will definitely do so myself whenever I return to Iceland.

Lily Kita is the BEST. Wonderful experience! - Lily with Artic Adventures is such a sweetheart. Most of us were in Iceland for the first time as part of a group trip. She gave us so much information, history and fun facts about the glaciers, landscapes and architecture of Iceland. The scenery on the drive from Reykjavik to the Glaciers region was breathtaking and Lily was kind and upbeat the entire time. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job. Thank you, Lily! -Amie

Great small group tour - We were so lucky with the weather to make this tour even more enjoyable. Great driver/guide who engaged with us throughout the day. The itinerary was well paced with sufficient time to go off wandering at each stop.

Martin, the guide, was excellent - Martin, our guide was excellent. Throughout the tour he imparted huge amounts of knowledge to us about Iceland's geology and history. The tour ran smoothly (apart from when some of the other tour members returned to the wrong car park at one site!). We had sufficient time at each stop, including plenty of time at Gullfoss where there is a clothing and souvenir shop (and a restaurant if you haven't brought lunch with you).

Not worth the money - The tour was too short and rushed. Although we visited some amazing places and witnessed spectacular scenery, the time allocated to each place is limited and you cannot really enjoy it. You have to run to see things. Moreover, we arrived back almost two hours earlier than we were initially informed. The price is just too high for what you get. I wouldn't recommend it. I would just rent a car instead.
